As they get older, it's more difficult to shop for kids. I have two birthdays coming up in September and pretty stumped as to what to buy my nieces. Clothes? Books? Toys?

I don't enjoy it! I like to get thoughtful gifts but then I end up wondering if they already have the item, and I start stressing!

I enjoy it if I know something that the child needs. I do not like shopping for kids who have everything! It is so hard!!

Depends on the kid. I've had to shop for kids that I've never met them or their parents before (DH's friends) and that sucked. I had no idea what they were into. But I think it's fun to shop for kids that I have an idea of what they'll like.

We went to a birthday party of two kids that have everything. We've played at their house and they seriously have every toy. I made them a DIY Fort Kit. He's into super heros so it was super hero themed, and she got a princess themed one. I put in sheets, clothes pins, flash lights (pink and red), and some things to play with while in the fort. Then I bought a tote bag at the dollar store and personalized it for them.

I also find it difficult. It depends on the kid and parent, but sometimes it is nearly impossible to find the "right" thing!
